ok so i dont have an opinion on which is better, northern or southern preppy, but i like the fact that were talking about it. please stop fighting. this is a nice topic and we can all debate on it while still maintaing composure. (if ive spelled something wrong please dont kill me).
as for VV i think they might be more northern. I looked at the wedding pictures and alot of the bridal parties actually have the groomsmen wearing khakis and a blazer. not ALL of the photos have this, but the majority do. In the south, i doubt that MOST (not all) weddings parties tend to dress more formally. blazers and ties are what you wear to Ole Miss football games, not your sisters wedding.
also, what about Perlis. That is definetly southern! A crawfish on a polo...northerners would probably be more likely to wear a lobster.
tommy hilfiger mass produced what id call northern preppy, and although jcrew is popular in the south they do lean more toward the northern style. after all they have lobsters in alot of their patterns.
pleaase dont mention abercrombie on here! thats teenage preppy. preppy is polo, lacoste, vv, madras and sweater around the neck. a and f is trendy... after all most hardcore old school preppies wouldnt wear pants with rhinestones on the butt.
additionally i think different areas have different preppy icons. although im from the south, i think most preppy icons are yuppie types from up north (ie the kennedys).
thanks and lets stay sweet yall. this is all just for fun!
